I appreciate your humor, my friend. if you have an account at chessvariants.com you can fully appreciate this epic battle and not play puny chess variants on pychess 🧐
I have repeatedly stated and continue to assert that today there is no such engine that would be able to solve Epic Chess. This variant was specially created for confrontation with engines. And Epic Chess performs its task perfectly even when no move has been made in the game:
If you still don't understand, then
With a symmetrical arrangement of forces and equality of the material, parity must be maintained.
That is why you can safely play Epic Chess by correspondence, knowing that using the engine in this game is useless.

yes so it is perfect for correspondence
"parity must be maintained" well make each side's knights as crooked knightriders and white wins with 1.zNNb1-e4#!
if there is an attack which outright wins, no need for it to be equal 
(just saying this isnt always true)
but epic chess cannot have such thing as kings have lot and lot of soldiers just in front
many soldiers in front of the royal couple - royal guard of king 
this is what confuses the engines the most.
Can be played on Pychess as a Shako variant
